Yeah, like the other guy said, he's technically right, so he might be able to successfully argue it. It's just the way he initially said it that made it obvious he wasn't sure what he was talking about.

"the internet, at least at some physical level, is a series of tubes holding
fiber optic cables.... f*gtards" haha The Internet is the worldwide, publicly accessible network of interconnected computer networks that transmit data by packet switching using the standard Internet Protocol (IP). It is a "network of networks" that consists of millions of smaller domestic, academic, business, and government networks, which together carry various information and services, such as electronic mail, online chat

you know the tubes analogy didn't bother me, but the way he was saying net neutrality creates a two-tiered system did. He thought he could get away with claiming his oppenent's argument as his own just by saying, "NU-UH!"

His comment does make sense if you think about it in a certian way so I can understand him wanting to argue about it. He just said it in a odd way that made it look like he didn't know what he was talking about.

I might not have chosen to use the word 'tubes' in his place, but the Internet is INDEED alot like a serious of tubes... Although if he had used "sewer plumming", it would've been quite more fitting, and quite more humourus.

It's funny, thanks for posting it. But to be honest, the tubes analogy isn't really that bad. I mean, it's not the word I would use, but I mean it's close. We commonly refer to connections as pipes or pipelines, and a pipe is technically a tube.

Only a certain amount of data can flow through a single cable at once, as a certain amount of water can flow through a tube or pipe at once. Servers and PCs are more akin to, say, toilets. FO is just a really, really big pipe. And guess what, your water system also uses really really big pipes to pump water to other houses than yours. Anyone who's had a DDOS attack knows that the tubes CAN be clogged.

he's not a tard because he said pipe can get 'clogged'. he's a tard because 1) he offered the most common bullsh*t argument against net neutrality - capacity has outpaced content to download, and 2) he sounded like a moron doing it.
